Paul explained that the display piece (which is intended to measure 4m long x 1.2m tall) would be constructed wherever possible using environmentally friendly materials and construction methods, and would be professionally erected by one of the Astley Signs fitting teams. He also mentioned that Astley Signs' Directors had shown great interest in becoming involved in such a landmark project for the North East, which is consistent with its existing community development policy.

After hearing Paul's presentation, all present at the meeting felt that the overall impression of the display would be one of great respect, history, and its contemporary design would ensure the memorial was relevant to the children and young people.
